Grew hydroponicallynplant looked great and grew quickly but after being in flowering for 10+ weeks it didnt produce much at all. The only thing I know I had messed up on was that during lights off there was still some outside light getting into the room not ton but enough to where you could see also I didnt but glass under the HPS but I did have a fan blowing across them..any ideas?? I have more plants on

The biggest reason for low yield is not enough light, 50watts per square foot

Overvegging or not allowing for stretch,

Using to small of a pot that restricts root growth.

Feeding to much or to little and/or unbalanced nutes or ph

those are the top things i can think of

It looks like it has barely begun flowering. If you can see the light when it's supposed to be dark, so can your plants. They need complete darkness or they stress out. Your plants look like they are unsure If they should flower or veg. Bummer bro, that's a lot of time to waste.

Ya something does not look right, looks like you have some nasty nutrient burn or lock out. Are you taking PPM and PH readings? Hydro is very picky its nothing like soil where you can basically add a little water and some nuts and forget about it. With hydro you need to know where those plants are at every day.

Besides the light leaks is there anything your unsure of that you think you have contributed to the overall problem? (ex. mixing nutrients, balancing PH/PPM levels, room/res. temps.)

Were here to help, put your questions on blast and we will try and guide you to some reliable information to help you out

Also keep your ph in line. Lockout will cause anemic plants. And what's your lighting situation (size of room and watts).

I really think you need to get your environment and nutes all in balance. It sounds like you are kind of going at this without sitting down and figuring it all out ahead of time.
